Daniel Ellsberg, Government Dishonesty & Nuclear Weapons

<p>In this episode of <em><strong>Anti-Capitalist Chronicles</strong></em>, Prof. Harvey explores the contributions made by Daniel Ellsberg, the political activist known for releasing the Pentagon Papers in 1971. Ellsberg gave the public a look into the ways in which the US government was lying about the Vietnam war with the Pentagon Papers, and offered a look into how the US military thinks about military policy with respect to nuclear weapons in his book The Doomsday Machine. Ellsberg’s contributions are deeply relevant today with the Russian/Ukraine war and the ever-growing number of nuclear weapons around the globe.</p> <p><em><strong>David Harvey's Anti-Capitalist Chronicles</strong></em> is a <a href= "https://www.democracyatwork.info/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Democracy at Work</a> production, made possible by audience donations.
